When cooking with pans using a large water
content, large quantities of vapour and steam
can be produced very quickly. This steam may
condense onto the cold metallic surfaces of
the cooker hood and even the splash back
area if tiled, glazed etc. (This is not a fault with
either the hob or cooker hood if correctly
The amount of this condensation on any
particular surface will depend on many factors
including the ambient temperature in the
kitchen, the related ambient temperature of
the metal surfaces, the general ventilation
within the kitchen, the type of food being
cooked and duration. Using lids on pans can
help reduce the amount of steam being
released and subsequent condensation.
